Hair outside vertex groups
Certain editing operations that add new vertices can change vertex order in the model, which breaks certain things (shapekeys, baked physics sims, combed hair).

There should be an option under particle settings to clear the particle edit (i.e. the combing) from the hair so you can do it again. 

In general, you shouldn't add hair until you are satisfied with the mesh and don't intend to add to it. Another way of handling this is to duplicate and separate the parts of the mesh that you wish to add hair too, and add the hair on them rather than the original model. You can then make it so only the hair and not the new mesh sections get rendered in the particle settings.
